I do know where another of their pictures came from. I saw it when I was looking at istockphotos.com for images for isocrat.org. Does this mean someone is selling our image? I should take another look there... I imagine, if they are, it's under the keywords "unbelievably adorable" "gay" and "family" ;-).
Anyway, I guess such goes with the territory of speaking out. So many of the other same-sex headed families in these parts have to fear for their jobs or family backlash, and we're thankfully in a safer position. But it's just odd to find such things.
EDIT: Okay, when I showed this to Rob he told me he gave them permission to use this photo. Not only that but he also told me that he told me about it... there's a reason he calls me the absent minded professor sometimes :-).

That's cute, and it's a nice video. Maybe it will have a positive effect. It would have been nice if they'd put a little more effort into getting your consent before using your picture, but it could easily be worse.
I was gonna say, how can they just use your photo but there ya go he gave permission...
c.l. mystery solved... Turns out Rob gave permission and I just don't listen :-).
qu "I was gonna say, how can they just use your photo "
Actually, I just remembered I once found our picture on another pro-gay activism web site. I'm fine with that, though. I know how expensive such pictures are if you pay for them from a stock photo site (that's why I put us on the main page of isocrat.org :-))
Ha, that made me chuckle! We just had a rather similar scenario. That so sounds like us, and it's definitely the scientist one of us who is the most absent-minded (though he sometimes forgets that he is and then accuses me)! ;)
Glad you didn't file a lawsuit or hold a press conference before Rob reminded you...
